Creative Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) 1. DeCoud has been the definition of average since he got here, proven by his +0.9 overall rating this year. While he has shown flashes of being a really good player, he hasn't put it all together. With a new DC, secondary coach, and contract, in my opinion at least, he can only improve. Worst case scenario, we have what we've seen the last couple years, which isn't THAT bad.2. 5 years, 17.5 million. That's really cheap, especially if he becomes an above average player.3. The FA class, as well as the 2012 draft class is extremely thin at FS. We could pick one up late.. but nobody screams 'take me at 55!'PS: I'm not even a huge DeCoud fan, but honestly, nobody should be upset about this move. Plus we get to see him celebrate missed FG's for 5 more years. Edited March 7, 2012 by Creative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dem Birds Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 DeCoud is the best option for us right now and he's honestly not as bad as he's made out to be. I've said a dozen times, his problems can be fixed with coaching. Nolan can fix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HASHBROWN3 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) I say the guy improves... there is zippo in the draft... and nothing really impressive in FA.... the numbers look favorable for us...

FalconFanSince1970 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I wish the Saints could have signed DeCoud - that would help Matt Ryan's deep ball.Bro that's two posts of yours I agreed with in less than twenty four hours. And you continually say we never agree on jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattRyanProvesYouWrong Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Nothing in the draft, FA isn't very impressive either.Nahh, I think we're good with DeCoud for another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Gossett Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 DeCoud is the best option for us right now and he's honestly not as bad as he's made out to be. I've said a dozen times, his problems can be fixed with coaching. Nolan can fix them.I've also thought this. Think about Moore and DeCoud under Nolan's vast knowledge ... I have a feeling we will be Ravens South as far as Defense is concerned. If Lofton signs then we know that Nolan only has to fill in the DE position w/ what he wants. Maybe DeCoud and Moore can become like the Safeties in Baltimore ... I just hope the catch and soak up the knowledge flakes that Nolan is going to be dropping this year. I have never been so excited like I am now. I wanted Nolan and Singletary for a long long time. I still can't believe we go Nolan here and I do believe if we had Mike S. that Lofton if he signs and Spoon will take it to a whole new level. That's scary huh? Spoon taking it to an even higher level ... LT move over !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconsManhood Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I really liked the signing. I'm calling it, IF TD and Nolan can get us a pass rush somehow. Decoud is going to break out into an above average FS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwarzenegger321 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think it was a good to very good move.He is a very good value. He takes terrible angles in coverage, but has above average athletic skills. If he learns to take the correct path to the receiver and ball this will be a great value.

jdub051082 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm 50/50 about the deal. I guess Landry was not in reach. Decoud will make a tackle and also be out of coverage. So round of applause for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I MUS WRITE Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yawn. This guy is so underwhelming. I didnt like what i saw the last 2 years.cant blame BVG for everything. I dont think he is much better than sanders if at all. He also looks really slow at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fibonacci Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I agree with you OP. People will realize this by the end of next season. just like people will realize we cannot afford to take Mario and Nicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnasty Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think for us, DeCoud was the best option. Camaraderie amongst fellow DBs, knows the facilities/rules and as already stated, Nolan will turn him into something worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBird304 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 He will be fine and his contract was fair. Glad to have him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
